The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

"Longtail has been spotted and dennis has fired a tranquilizer dart at him and we don't know if it's hit longtail or not,' muldoon said.

Longtail saw Dennis aim the black stick at him and his eyes widened, then he heard Frank scream something like 'move' but the flyers body wouldn't move. And just as he was starting to realize how bad a situation he was actually in he saw a flash of light and felt the needle pierce his scales. He stumbled backwards for a moment before he regained his balance, and he narrowed his eyes in anger as the adrenaline began flowing through his body and momentarily fought off the effects of the tranquilizer dart.

He then stepped forward and screamed into the mic as he pounced at Dennis intent on at least breaking the metal stick he'd just shot him with.

~~~~~

Cyrixs' eyes widened at the news and for a single moment he couldn't feel anything, not anger, not sorrow, nothing. He turned to look outside the hanger doors and clasped his hand together hoping against hope that his nephew would be okay.

~~~~~

Hammond heard Longtail's screech over his walkie talkie and sighed.
"Frank where is Longtail's current position? I'm sending Peter and Henry to help him, while I get this jeep back to the compound."

"he is 32 meters south of the triceratops pen,' frank said. Frank heard the screaming and thought "Dennis is gonna get it now'.

Dennis couldn't have been more shocked by the little flyer's actions. He was suppose to go into hibernation and let Dennis escape, but instead the thing was launching itself straight at him! Preparing to fire again, though he was starting to worry about the fact that that wouldn't do anything...Dennis nonetheless couldn't even raise the gun properly as he struggled to keep Longtails' beak and claws at bay.

"You stupid...I wasn't gonna kill ya...you'd have woken up, just after I left..." Dennis tried to explain even as he struggled to keep Longtail at bay.

Tylr slowly walked over to where Cyrix was, "He--he'll be ok...I'm sure" the flyer tried to find for encouragement, but even he wasn't really sure.

Frank was silent as he continued flying his plane waiting for a response from longtail as to what was happening.

Mim went over to Cyrix and patted him on one of his shoulders, "I'm sure he'll be ok." She said.

"Gee." Chomper said, hoping Longtail was ok, but not sure what else to say, his hands going to the sides of his face & his face showing his fear for Longtail.  

oh, no, no,no." Diver said, doing the same as Chomper did with her hands going on the sides of her face as her face showed fear for Longtail.

"I certainly hope so." Mim said still worried for Longtail.

Longtail spat the gun out of his beak and latched onto Dennis' arm...but his strength was leaving him fast and he didn't know why, or what was causing it, but as his claws began to slip he bit Dennis around the neck as the tranquilizer took full effect and finally knocked the little flyer unconscious. His beak however remained stuck on Dennis' throat but not hard enough to draw blood.

~~~~~

Cyrix took a deep breath to try and calm himself, but after several tries his body was still shaking and trembling. "I-I can't...cannot lose him....I won't...I made....a promise to look after him."

~~~~~

Hammond was worried about the situation, but was sure that whatever happened it would all work out...or so he hoped.

"And you'll be able to keep that promise,' muldoon said.

"Redbird 2 can you hear me respond,' frank said.

Hammond's hands were tied as he answered.
"Alright, just be careful. If you find Longtail help him, but if you happen to find Dennis just keep him in place, don't hurt him." he spoke over the walkie-talkie.

~~~~~~

Cyrix stepped forward and said, "Alright let's go, but how will we find them? I know for a fact that we can't run as fast as some of your metal 'cars'."

"GPS there is a chip in the jeep and on the radio if we can hurry we can reach where they are the cars are just this way,' muldoon said before walking off to the garage.

"Let's all go who want to help." Mim said.  Diver started to run along and Mim picked her up since she'd travel faster being carried.  Chomper ran along wanting to help also.

"Yea, we gotta go now." He said, wanting to leave immediately.

Muldoon reached the garage door first and propped the door open to let everyone else in and opened the back of a GMC 2.5 truck. "Ok since there isn't much room in the front most of you are gonna have to ride in the back,' muldoon said.

"Let's most of us get in the back then." Mim said going over to the back of the GMC truck that was open.

With a final half sigh, half cry of more frustration than real pain, Dennis swat the flyer away and off of him, watching as the creature fell to the floor. "Well...glad that's done" he said. He turned and picked up the cooler and tranquilizer gun again and went to head off again, when a slow thudding interrupted him.

Turning, Dennis watched a nearby footprint filled with water shake (ooc: and finally I can use the classic JP thingy :D). That didn't look like a good sign. The echoing roar of a Rex who'd locked more so onto his target he tracked sounded through the forest. Dennis knew he had to get out of there now.

Turning, yet less than graceful, Dennis fumbled to rush along the path with the cooler and dart, as he did so he noticed Longtail unconscious...he supposed it was bad to just leave him here to be helpless prey when he'd done it...and plus once his aim had been to secure a live speciman for Biosyn (ooc: I think).

Not sure which was the stronger reason, Dennis walked over and quickly slung Longtail across his shoulder before stumbling along again, the footsteps even now still trailing him. He heard Frank through the receiver and decided that the security personnel being able to track him was not a good thing, so he removed it and flung it upon the ground before continuing on.
